This book identifies various definitions that have been applied to describe the LCC business model. In essence the majority of researchers define LCCs as carriers, which, through a variety of operational processes, have achieved a cost advantage over Full-Service Carriers. The key characteristics that can generally be found in LCCs are: (i) Simple service offering; (ii) Short-haul, point-to-point route structure; (iii) Usage of secondary airports; (iv) High aircrafDirections in DevelopmentAirlinesRatesDeveloping countriesAirlinesDeveloping countriesCost of operationAirlinesEconomic aspectsElectronic books.AirlinesRatesAirlinesCost of operation.AirlinesEconomic aspects.387.7/42091724Weisskopf Nora958817Schlumberger Charles E.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459831903321Ready for takeoff2172488UNINA
